In many Free Software projects (e.g., GCC, KDE, etc.), the people who are allowed to approve other people's commits can also approve their own.
This is not entirely true. GCC and related projects apply a pretty complex peer review process, with defined roles and privileges. (Cf. the file MAINTAINERS in GCC's sourcetree for details).
Somewhat over-simplified the process condenses into "All proposed changes must be peer-reviewed by somebody who is formally in charge of a component" to be changed. Exceptions apply for "obvious changes".
